Music of Hope and Love: Featuring Works by Jake Runestad

Oct 26, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

$22 – $25

Saturday, Oct 26 2019, 7:30 pm, at the Cary Arts Center (101 Dry Avenue, Cary).

Tickets ($25/$22 seniors) available online here or at the Town of Cary box offices (details here). Students are always free!

Concert Singers of Cary Symphonic Choir, with guest artists Mallarmé Chamber Players and Panther Creek High School Chamber Choir

  • Nathan Leaf, Conductor
  • Allen Bailey, Pianist
  • Megan Brachtl, Soprano
  • Johnny Gillings, Tenor
  • Wes Everett, Baritone

A poignant, challenging, and ultimately uplifting event, the concert will feature three works by one of choral music’s newest leading composers, Jake Runestad, plus music by Beethoven and others. It will also feature student musicians from Panther Creek High School in Cary (Brad Bensen director).

The concert will open with Runestad’s A Silence Haunts Me, a dramatic exploration of Beethoven’s Heiligenstadt Testament, the letter in which the young Beethoven expresses his despair over his impending deafness and resolve to press on in fulfillment of his artistic destiny, and then connect to our own present-day challenges with Please Stay, a musical plea for suicide prevention and awareness. Also on the concert will be Runestad’s beautiful and inspiring The Hope of Loving.
